Our first Win :)

Quoting words from Fengqi in the previous e-mail,

"We will put in a more determined, organised and tactically more sound performance for you next time"

Indeed, we did that. We scored our first win with a scoreline of 5-3!! It was a hard-fought battle against the youths from Eastdee United especially playing in the rain. Initially, we were a bit unsettled due to waiting for players and some ongoing miscommunication. However, this was an area we managed to put aside as the game carried on.

The attacking momentum slowly built up and when Jinghe was substituted in, he helped netted our first goal for the re-match. Kangwei followed suit. Potential 'Rooney'! One more from Zhanyou in a penalty shoot-out before half-time when our opponent attempted a seemingly foul tackle on our player, Jacky. It was completed with another one from Jinghe.
(He is the first player to score a hat-trick, let's pray that he will continue to score goals and get the Golden Boot Award end-season!)

For the second half, we continued to keep up the pressure of attacking. Everyone's position was made clearer. It helps to have Robert giving out the shouts from the touchline. Among ourselves, there is also adequate communication and coverage of position and space. Unfortunately, we let in two goals for the Eastdees with the limited chances that they had.

Overall, we played pretty well!
The win will give us a psychological edge and position ourselves well as we finish the remaining 8 matches.
Kudos to all the players who definitely went out of their way to do the runs, clear the balls, just to secure the first win.

Thanks to all those who turned up despite the unfavorable weather. Thanks KC for taking the shots and videos.
Our next match will be played on 17 Feb. More information will be dished out nearer the date.

Players: pls keep a 'strict' diet if you can. Feast you can, but pls exercise as well!
